Hailed as a Randal "killer". I disagree. It's just different, not necessarily better. The best way to figure out if you like these is to try them. My biggest gripe is that they're only drilled new-school which prevents you from using them with a lot of DH oriented boards. Not compatible with a lot of drop-throughs either, but that's changing.

Equipment Reviews

How long have you ridden them?: 4-5 months
What Setup are you running them on?: Loaded Vanguard, Fibreflex Funshape, Gravity Spoonose
Typical Discepline?: Cruise, Carve, Pump, Walk
What are their weaknesses?: Not the most stable truck in itself. More experienced riders can probably handle them, but don't expect the trucks to do the work for you. Only drilled new-shcool. Stock bushings not phenomenal but they're supposed to be revised soon.
What are their strengths?: Very smooth turning truck, durable too. Not too expensive but performs well.
What similar equipment have you ridden?: Randals, briefly.
Would you recommend them?: Yes

Definitely an example of where skating equipment is headed -- products aimed at the specific longboard market are made to a higher standard for those of us who tend to be older and with more disposable income/less tolerance for crappy quality.

Equipment Reviews

How long have you ridden them?: A few weeks
What Setup are you running them on?: S9 Carvin' Niner pintail, 78A Gumballs, Bones Swiss
Typical Discepline?: Cruising
How much did you pay for them?: 50
Where did you buy them?: Skatewerks, RIver Edge NJ
What are their weaknesses?: Twitchy with stock bushings. Paint on hangar scratches off if you look at it funny. Included mounting bolts are too short for many applications
What are their strengths?: SMOOOOOOOOOTH. Looks like a precision machined product rather than the tin pot appearance of name-brand trucks as recent as 5 years ago. Including mounting bolts, speed rings, and matching riser a nice touch, but the bolts could be longer to accommodate preferences for higher risers/thicker boards--but that's being picky.
What similar equipment have you ridden?: Randal 180's, Gullwing Alpines
Would you recommend them?: Yes
